Big Useability issue wit 2.7.4.0

Just had to abandon the 3rd of the last 4 game sessions. Since the 2.7.4.0 upgrade we are suffering from random disconnects across the DM and 5 players, its got to the point that this is unuseable.
We cant see any internet issues
skype still runs fine
The PC's are mixed spec from good to average.
lots of file transfer errors on clients

We have been running for nearly 2 years without many issues. In fact the previous version was very stable...only the upgrade seems to have changed things.

Held of logging for a couple of weeks to see if it settled down or a fix issued....

I'm sorry to hear about the network issues. There have been 3-4 games where this has cropped up according to what I'm seeing on the forums. It's either not happening to others (or at least only minimally).

I'm currently working with Primarch on the Test version (v2.7.5) to try and track down some of the connection issues.

If you want to roll back to 2.7.2, the installer in the downloads section is still v2.7.2. Also, if you are running a Lite, Full or Ultimate license, you can set your version by using the Dev mode of the Test Mode Manager tool (available on the downloads page).

I wonder if it has something to do with age/size of campaign; and how much data is transferred on login.

* How big is the campaign db.xml file on the host machine?

If you are running a 4E game, you can try using the /flushdb chat command to reset the shared data in the campaign. In long running games, this can drastically reduce transfers on login as old campaign data is no longer shared automatically.

* Can you post some of the file transfer errors you are seeing?

I added some code to output messages on network errors, and it uncovered a minor issue with portrait tokens. I want to see if that is what you are seeing, or if it's something new/different.
